Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chuck Douglas and the Power Hour on six ten WTV.
And how do they work Taylor Swift into every blasted thing.
I mean, she's got nothing, and still she's the head.
I don't understand, but I will share that with you
here in just a little bit. We've talking about the
horse trailer thing yesterday, which I just I got a
kick out of it because it was so stupid. A
police horse trailer, Columbus police horse trailer. It was headed
(00:23):
over here by the station. I was behind it on
my way into work, headed over here to the horse part,
and it's got signage on the back of it that
says stay back two hundred feet horses. But you have
to be like twenty feet away to be able to
read the lettering on the trailer that says stay back
two hundred feet. And then of course that brought into
mind all of the trucks, the dump trucks, the construction
(00:44):
vehicles and so forth that I've seen on the road
that say stay back one hundred feet or stay back
two hundred feet. And then they add for insult to injury,
they're not responsible for damage, and I say, oh, heck,
yes you are. If it flies off of your truck,
your loan is unsecure, the gravel's fallen out of your bed, whatever.
You are just as to blame for that and just
(01:04):
as liable for that as some guy who lets something
fly out of the back of his pickup truck, or
or somebody who lets a mattress come off the top
of their car, or whatever. Sign or no sign right
is right? Or maybe that's just me. A two one
WTV and the number John, You're on six to ten
double UTV at height.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Hey, Chuck, just add your list. One of the things
is life is but a joy, which I use all
the time, but I'm not depressed.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, I'm glad to hear that. I don't think that
was all the list though.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No, no, I'm saying put it on the list.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And then the other the baby on board, Well, congratulations,
you know, I'm glad you had a child. And the
other one that really annoys me is a semi trucks
with the caution I make wide right turns. Well, if
I'm in my lane, I don't care how wide a
turn you make.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's true. And if and if you turn into traffic
when you shouldn't, then and you call something that's still
on you. So thanks for the sticker. But the law
is the law.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, absolutely, I got you.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
All right.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well, hey you have a good one.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You too, John, thanks for the call. A two one
nine eight six two one WTV.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I don't know. I have to say, those baby on
board ones.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
What about it? Why if there's no baby on board sign,
are you allowed to drive erratically next to the people
that don't have the sign.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I was going to crash into you, but then I
saw it, so I decided to crash it.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I was considering, you know, getting in front of you
and slamming on my brakes, but then I saw the
baby on board sign. I decided against it.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Multiple times, that's happened to me. I saw that sign,
I said, I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Do it? I just I don't know. It was a
cutesy thing that became, h you know, a standard, and
we've seen many things like that where it starts off
as almost like a joke, but then everybody starts doing
it and it's no longer a joke. There were some
human who remains found in Rhode Island. You're familiar with
(03:13):
this story. What no, they found human remains a leg
A leg and it happened to be near Taylor Swift's
home in Rhode Island, and somehow they managed to work
her into the blasted story. She's got nothing to do
with it. She doesn't know this guy. He didn't know her.
They found his car abandoned sixteen miles away, and they
(03:38):
now they found his leg. They didn't him.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
It was an honor property. That's like vast farmland or
nothing even.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
No, no, it's a it's an affluent area in Rhode Island,
and they found it. He's about the three tenths of
a mile, it says, from her property line. And and
for some reason, Taylor Swift is the story. Somebody's leg
was found, and Taylor Swift is the story. I don't
I don't get the press.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Bring in clicks. I guess body parts found near Taylor
Swift's home, and then the story.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I guess. Eric Wine, thirty one year old Eric Wine
is the owner or perhaps former owner, of the leg.
They haven't found Eric yet. He was reported missing a
month earlier. On April eighteenth, his car was found abandoned
on Ocean Avenue in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Despite the
chilling nature of the discovery, authorities say there are no
signs of foul play.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, he's partially missing.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now, if you found a leg without the person attached
to it.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
No foul play.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But there's no foul I've not known anyone who's just
walking down the street and the oh leg fell off. Hey,
I've never known that to happen. Just there are two
options here, either foul or shark. Because you know, as
(05:04):
Richard Drivers told us, this was no boating accident, so
it's it's foul play or shark.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
How do you say that there's no foul play? We
found his leg. We don't think anything fish is going
on here. But we did find a leg, so we're
we're we're twenty five percent of the way of finding him.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I don't know if the leg was that much, you know. Yeah, anyway,
South Kingstown Police Department announced last week the case is
now closed. I'm sorry, hang on. I didn't want that
boisterous laugh to go over the air.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Where the others So they just let it go.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They've found the leg, they now know who the leg
belonged to. They've got a picture of him here in
military uniform, so I'm assuming a DNA test. They know
it belonged to this guy. They don't know where he is.
He's missing, but they found the leg and they have
closed the case. Okay, now again, I guess I'm being
kind of a stickler for details. But A legs don't
(06:08):
just fall off, and b it's not closed. He's still
missing and you have his leg. How do you close
that case?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Maybe if they find just part of you, they could
say they actually found you. So they found his leg for.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Us, We're done. We're finished here. And and please keep
in mind, everything I've said for the last two minutes
has nothing to do with Taylor Swift. So why is
she in the headline. I don't know. I have no
idea where the South Kingstown Police Department is in Rhode Island,
but I'm hoping they are. They are not well funded,
(06:46):
because if they are, they don't deserve that money. How
do you close the case when you found a leg,
you have a missing person, you don't know where the
person is. The case is not closed, the case is ongoing.
Absolutely ridiculous, Absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, Taylor Swift has nothing to
(07:07):
do with that story. Just so you know, I'm sick
of here. They even managed to get in by the
way that she has permits. She's requested permits from the
town to remodel the house and expand her kitchen because
as we all know, you know, Taylor's a big cook.
I don't does she cook? I have no idea. Didn't
(07:27):
she make Travis Kelcey like some Pillsbury Crescent rolls or
something before a game, which requires, you know, turning on
the oven. But why is that even? But it's in
the story. The judge accused of helping an immigrant evade
ice out there in Wisconsin wants a trial date, but
it's been delayed. I don't know why. Seems like pretty
(07:49):
much a cut and dry thing to me, But we're
still waiting on a trial date. She was hiding. She
was hiding this guy from Ice, knowing that he was
here illegally. She is a judge sworn to uphold the
Constitution of the United States of America. And uh no,
(08:09):
the medicaid cuts that everybody's been so worried about. You
couldn't get away from the Facebook and Twitter and oh,
by the way, don't post irresponsible bs. There's enough reasons
for people who dislike Donald Trump to dislike Donald Trump.
But I saw right before I came on the air tonight,
well Mark was still and I was on the other side.
So I'm looking at that and somebody and I'm sad
to say a Facebook connection of mine posted Donald Trump
(08:33):
issues executive order to abolish June teenth. No, he did
not stop that. Crap man. We don't need any any
fake stuff. Wall Street Journal report here. This has to
do with all the doge cuts, and everybody was freaking out,
Okay because uh those they're gonna cut Medicaid, They're gonna
(08:55):
cut medicure, they're gonna cut Social Security, betifits and Wall Street.
Here's the headline. Democratic states expanded medicaid to undocumented immigrants.
Now they're rolling it back. That's their headline. Progressive governors
around the country of extended state funded health care to
(09:16):
undocumented immigrants, aiming to get closer to universal health insurance coverage.
Now some are being forced to roll back or freeze
the programs because of budget woes and unexpectedly high enrollment.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed freezing enrollment of undocumented
adults in the state's medicaid program. California is the most Hey,
(09:39):
illegal people come here, state, We got but Gavin Newsom,
who isn't running for president, has has said he wants
to freeze the state's Medicaid for the poor and the disabled.
Instead of receiving essentially free coverage, those already enrolled will
be required to pay one hundred dollars monthly in premiums
starting in twenty twenty seven. Knewsom floated his proposal after
(10:02):
the state program medical went six point two billion dollars
over budget this year. The story is available in the
Wall Street Journal. I already gave you the headline. Read
it and understand that freaking out over Medicaid cuts not
necessarily the case, because the idea is all of the
(10:23):
illegal immigrants that are being covered by your state will
no longer be, which means they can spend less on
it at the federal level and still keep the American
citizens that are covered covered. People think they know more
than what they do, or they hope you believe they
know more than what they do, and they hit the
(10:44):
panic button. They put it out there to freak you out,
so you go, oh, no, oh, no, one in trouble.
Just chill man. It is what it is. The music
is playing didn't get to the Loutrell story of this
Loutrell guy who they keep saying he was in a
car accident. He's in bad shape from a car, but
they keep calling them. The original lead singer of Rio Speedwagon.
(11:07):
I don't know that anybody remembers him. Kevin Cronin has
always been the voice of Rio Speedwagon until he recently
left the group.
